I Love Your Cooking

Since some women can't make toast without a recipe book, there has to be an "out" for guys who get stuck with the culinary challenged. The best bet is to grin and bear it. Hey, at least she's cooking for you guys. But if  you have to ingest antacids by the truckload, you may start offering to help out with dinner.

London Eye

A recent but already very popular tourist attraction is the London Eye, a giant observation wheel located in the Jubilee Gardens on the South Bank. The 135 meter (443ft) tall structure was built as part of London's millennium celebrations.

London Eye

A Landmark for the new Millennium

The structure was designed by the architectural team of David Marks and Julia Barfield, husband and wife.
They submitted their idea for a large observation wheel as part of a competition to design a landmark for the new millennium.

None of the entrants won the competition, but the couple pressed on and eventually got the backing of British Airways, who sponsored the project.

Rhine River Cruise

Cruises of the famed Rhine River generally run from as far north as Amsterdam to the south end at Basel, Switzerland. Germany falls in what many consider the most scenic part of the river -- the Middle Rhine Region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts hillside castles and wineries. Rhine River cruises usually run from May through fall; there are also special Christmas Market cruises of the region in December. Numerous river cruise lines sail Rhine itineraries that include up to five countries along the river.

Cologne, Germany, is a popular port on many Rhine River cruises.

Cologne

Cologne is regularly affected by flooding from the Rhine and is considered the most flood-prone European city. A city agency (Stadtentwässerungsbetriebe Köln, "Cologne Urban Drainage Operations") manages an extensive flood control system which includes both permanent and mobile flood walls, protection from rising waters for buildings close to the river banks, monitoring and forecasting systems, pumping stations and programs to create or protect floodplains and river embankments. The system was redesigned after a 1993 flood which resulted in heavy damages.

German Beer

German Fun Facts about food and drink:
You would have to try one kind of German bread per day for almost a whole year in order to be able to taste them all! There are over 300 different kinds of bread in Germany.

Germans really do love beer; they rank second in world-wide beer consumption per person after Ireland. Bier is officially considered a food in Bayern, where the normal size beer glass, the Mass is 1 liter.


Germany is the cheapest place in Europe to buy beer, but also the most difficult in which to make a choice - there are over 1,500 different brands and types of beer in this country! We recommend the dark beers - the "Dunklesbier". Rich and creamy, it is the perfect cool drink after a walk or on a sunny terrasse with friends.

Germans like beer so much that they even have an expression with it: Das ist nicht mein Bier, meaning "That is none of my business!"

Dream holiday

My dream holiday is to tour Europe.

I had been to Sydney, Newcastle, Seoul, Beijing, Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Phuket, Taiwan, Singapore and Frankfurt.

I took one person at a time to travel with me.

But for this Europe trip, I would go alone. Why? Cos it's too expensive.

Anyway, I gonna enjoy it..

Queen of My Heart

Dedicated this song to my dearest mum..

http://youtu.be/5Fr5X-uFpQg

[Kian:]
So here we stand
In our secret place
With a sound of the crowd
So far away
And you take my hand
And it feels like home
We both understand
It's where we belong
[Bryan:]
So how do I say?
Do I say goodbye?
We both have our dreams
We both wanna fly
So let's take tonight
To carry us through
The lonely times

[CHORUS:]
[All:]
I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart

[Bryan:]
Queen of my heart

[Shane:]
So let's take tonight
And never let go
While dancing we'll kiss
Like there's no tomorrow
As the stars sparkle down
Like a diamond ring
I'll treasure this moment
Till we meet again

[Mark: (All:)]
But no matter how far
(Matter how far)
Or where you may be
(Where you may be)
I just close my eyes
(I just close my eyes)
And you're in my dreams
And there you will be
Until we meet

[Repeat chorus twice]

[Shane: (All:)]
Oh yeah
You're the
Queen of my heart
(Of my heart)
No matter
How many years it takes
(Queen of my heart)
I'll give it all to you
Oh yeah
(Queen of my heart)
Oh yes you are
The queen of my heart

Hula Hooping

Hula hooping is both fun and energizing as a form of exercise. It takes only a little bit of practice to master the skill, along with a bit of flexibility. When you get really good at it, you will find that it helps to increase the strength of your abdominal region. A quick tip for you, if you're trying to lose weight use the hula hoop for 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week and by the end of the week you will see results. If you want even faster results than hula hoop every day for 30 minutes, you will see results. Plus, it's fun!
